How fast does a 9.9 HP pontoon boat go?
A 9.9 HP engine is great for slow cruising, but don’t expect to go faster than a 5 MPH. We highly recommend (and include in our price) a “high-thrust” 9.9 HP engine from Yamaha that has a larger propeller and makes it much easier to maneuver your pontoon boat, even with a small engine.
Will a 75 HP pontoon pull a tube?
Most modern pontoon boat motors that are 60hp or larger should have ample enough power to pull people behind a 22-foot pontoon on an inner tube at a basic level. When you scale up to a 90hp pontoon boat, things are going to be much better from a performance and fun perspective when inflatable tubing behind.
Can you ski behind a 115 HP pontoon?
If your pontoon boat has a 115hp engine, you’ll likely be able to tow tubes or ski even with a full boat. It won’t be as much of fun as with only 4 or 5 people, but you’ll be fine.
How fast can a 50hp pontoon boat go?
A 50HP pontoon will perform at speeds of 15 to 18 mph and this would make a great boat for the purposes of entertaining guests or allowing young kids to go tubing.
How many horsepower does a pontoon boat have?
From my own personal experience with pontoon boats, I find that the older pontoons would typically have 25-50 hp engines, and occasionally a 75hp on them. In retrospect, I find that the newer 28 ft pontoon boats seem to be coming with 90-115-150 hp engines on the back.
How much does a 90 hp pontoon boat cost?
90 HP pontoons are much more ideal for pulling kids tubing or knee-boarding as they can achieve speeds of around 22 mph. Depending on their size, these pontoons can cost anywhere between $27,000 and $32,000 and the cost to maintain one can be up to £900 per year.
How to calculate the speed of a pontoon boat?
If you are looking to calculate how much speed you can get with an engine or prop upgrade on your pontoon boat, then there is some rough maths that you can do. Horsepower with respect to speed is exponential as long as nothing else changes. So, for example the following speed calculation could work, but it is very rough.
A 50HP pontoon will perform at speeds of 15 to 18 mph and this would make a great boat for the purposes of entertaining guests or allowing young kids to go tubing.
Is there a speed limit on a pontoon boat?
Just like any other vehicle, pontoon boats have speed limitations for very good reasons – both due to safety hazards and actual physical limitations. Pontoons are not speedboats and they’re not made to reach high speeds anyway, but there are a couple of moments when you need to go a certain speed, such as when you’re water skiing.
90 HP pontoons are much more ideal for pulling kids tubing or knee-boarding as they can achieve speeds of around 22 mph. Depending on their size, these pontoons can cost anywhere between $27,000 and $32,000 and the cost to maintain one can be up to £900 per year.
What’s the normal top speed for a 50hp motor?
I know it will vary from boat to boat but what are normal top speed numbers for a 50hp motor? I had the gps hooked up and got 28.9 over the weekend. Still don’t have the tach hooked up yet, will be in the shop this week for that.
